E! is Indonesiastanding by Ryan Seacrest, even after the sexual harassment allegations against him resurfaced in his alleged victim's account of events were published in a recent Varietyarticle.

An E! spokesperson confirmed to Mashable that the well-known TV personality will still attend the red carpet. He'll also continue on with other projects with the company, like the American Idolrevival.

The #MeToo and Time's Up movements have been one of the biggest topics of conversation on red carpets throughout award season -- which will undoubtedly lead to some awkward interviews for Seacrest.

E! has already been caught in the crossfires of the movement before. Several actresses including Debra Messing called out the network on the Golden Globes red carpet for paying former E! co-host Catt Sadler less than her male counterpart.

Before E! confirmed his attendance, Scandalactress Bellamy Young called Seacrest's presence at the Oscars into question on the Wrinkle in Timered carpet.

"I think this is the time to step aside and let someone of equal talent that is beyond reproach to be in charge," she said.

In Variety, former E! stylist Suzie Hardy accuses Seacrest of "years of unwanted sexual aggression," ranging from sexual harassment like pursuing her despite her refusal, to physical assault like groping her vagina and slapping her buttocks.

After the claims initially made headlines in Nov 2017, E! launched a third-party investigation that concluded there was "insufficient evidence to substantiate" these allegations. An E! spokesperson followed that up today with a new statement that "any claims that question the legitimacy of this investigation are completely baseless.”

The statement also says:

E!’s investigation was extremely comprehensive and thorough. Over the course of a two month process, our outside counsel interviewed more than two dozen people regarding the allegations, including multiple separate meetings with the claimant and all firsthand witnesses that she provided. The investigator is an attorney with nearly 20 years experience and is highly regarded professionally.

Seacrest continues to deny all allegations as well. After the accusations initially surfaced, he wrote a guest column in The Hollywood Reportertitled 'What Happened After I Was Wrongly Accused of Harassment.'

He responded to the new details published about the accusation with the following statement lengthy statement on Feb 27:
